Currently the Institute has seven laboratories, each with its own specialisation - Theoretical Physics , High Energy Physics (particle physics), Heavy Ion physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear reactions, Neutron physics, and Information Technology . The institute also has a division to study radiation and radiobiological research and other ad hoc experimental physics experiments. Principal research instruments include a nuclotron super-conducting ), three isochronous cyclotrons (120, 145, 650 MeV), a phasotron (680 MeV) and a Synchrophasotron (4 GeV). The site also has a Neutron fast pulse Reactor (1500 MW pulse) with nineteen associated instruments receiving neutron beams. The institute was established on March 26 , 1956 . Although the first research instrument was built at Dubna in 1947 , it was not until the creation of CERN in 1954 that a countervailing group for Eastern Bloc was created - ''JINR''. Elements discovered at ''JINR'': Rutherfordium (1964), Seaborgium (1974), Bohrium (1976), Ununquadium ('' Island Of Stability '', 1999), Ununhexium (2001), Ununtrium (2004), Ununpentium (2004).
